Chaloklum Bay (Koh Phangan)

Chaloklum Bay, located on the north coast of Koh Phangan, is a hidden kitesurfing gem that comes to life from November to January, when the wind shifts to the north and northeast. During this period, it becomes the only reliable kitespot on the island, attracting both independent riders and kitesurfing schools that relocate here from the south coast spots like Baan Tai and Thong Sala.

Set against the backdrop of an authentic fishing village, Chaloklum Bay offers a sandy beach lined with coconut palms, creating a stunning and relaxed atmosphere. The flat, shallow lagoon makes it an excellent spot for both beginners and advanced riders, though it can get a bit crowded in December as kitesurfers from across the island gather here.

With steady winds, warm waters, and a scenic tropical setting, Chaloklum Bay is a must-visit during the northern wind season for anyone looking to experience a different side of Koh Phangan’s kitesurfing scene.
